Usage

Using Serenade is simple and intuitive. Here's an example of how to send a simple event:

//...

Configure

All of your application's event broadcasting configuration is stored in the config/broadcasting.php configuration file. Add the following lines accordingly:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Broadcast Connections
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you may define all of the broadcast connections that will be used
| to broadcast events to other systems or over websockets. Samples of
| each available type of connection are provided inside this array.
|
*/

'connections' => [
    'serenade' => [
        'domain'     => '',
        'prefix'     => '',
        'route'      => 'serenade',
        'middleware' => 'web',
    ],
],

Subscribing

Subscribing to updates from a web browser or any other platform supporting Server-Sent Events is straightforward:

const url = new URL('https://localhost/.well-known/serenade/your.channel');

const eventSource = new EventSource(url);

// The callback will be called every time an update is published
eventSource.onmessage = e => console.log(e); // do something with the payload

This will create a new event with the name example and the message Hello, World!. For more advanced usage, including authorization and queuing, see the official documentation.
